But English DOES inflect the verb for person. The "-s" in 3rd
pers. sg. present. The inflections of "to be" and "to have".

The 3rd person '-s' is missing in much British English speech, and I am
talking about speech that is close to Standard English, not obscure country
dialects.

You are being serious? This is very new to me. You are joking, aren't
you? Please admit that you are.
